Vizerra is a software platform for viewing 3D models which provides its user with integrated additional content, such as video guides.[1] Currently available 3D models are used for demonstration, advertising and educational purposes.[2]

Project Overview

The project title has its origins in Latin and combines three words: visio (”vision, image”), erro (”roam”) and terra (“earth”). It was chosen because Vizerra project began as a platform for virtual travel.[3]

At the moment Vizerra is primarily a library of virtual 3D copies of real sites. These include monasteries, temples, squares and monuments of ancient cultures, such as Machu Picchu, Prague’s Old Town Square, Angkor Wat and others.[4]
